so its been 4 days and my 100% brett C finally started bubbling :icon_chickcheers: got it at 22celcius and will bump the temp up to 28 (slowly) once fermentation slows/nearly halted similar to how i do my belgians. Pitched only the wyeast pack no starter minimal aeration and should come out...

okay just looked up an article from byo about fusion beers (blending styles...) and my idea will be to simply make a 2IPA with a Belgian yeast Also saw that neonmate has made a belgian IPA so if you stumble across this feel free to give tips

I'm not sure yet but i might have a 100% brett C needa get the yeast though and will report back (ps i live in VIC)

i still havent had time to brew mine :(

so just re-boosting info about the all-brett stuff i'm going to be giving this one a try with some light crystal malts as soon as i get my hands on the yeast! Anyone tryed it yet??? I'm thinkin git'd be good to brew now for possibly a few fruity beers in summer

the worst ive done is stuck my whole arm in to get a hop sack i dropped in the fermentor out (which was open) its surprising how forgiving beer is still didnt get an infection. and one time i was bottling and the wasps would go away away so some of them crawled into the bottles and i just...

i havent tried it but reckon it would be a good idea with something like a belgian strong dark or soething similar

rock the fermentor gently to rouse the yeast and i second raising the temp

so would a sub for light crystal be CaraRed Medium Crystal -CaraMunich Dark Crystal -CaraAroma Sounds like the cara line tastes better so would it be a good idea to sub these or just stick to the crystals
